Umkhiqizi we-Single seat kayak ukutshela ukuthi ubude bethrekhi besikhungo se-kayak slalom buyi 250-400 amadesi. Izinga lokulinganisa inani elincane elimaphakathi lomzila wamanzi phakathi komugqa wokuqala nomugqa wokugcina; ubuncane obumaphakathi ububanzi bethrekhi bu 8 amadesi, iconsi lamanzi ngokuvamile likhulu kuno 5 amadesi, nokujula kwamanzi kukhulu kuno 0.6 amadesi.
Amanzi okufudumala nokuphumula ngokuvamile asendaweni yokuqala noma yokuqeda.
Kunezithiyo ezingaguquki nezinyakazayo kuthrekhi. Izithiyo zingahlanganiswa zibe izinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene kuye ngezidingo zokuqeqeshwa kanye nokuncintisana. Ngesikhathi somncintiswano, 18-25 amasango amanzi ahlelwe emzileni. Umkhiqizi we-kayak yesihlalo esisodwa ukutshela ukuthi ingxenye eyodwa yisango elingezansi komfula elibheke ekugelezeni kwamanje, kanti enye ingxenye yisango lasenhla nomfula elibheke ekugelezeni komfula. Kukhona okungenani 6 futhi okungenani 7 amasango akhuphukayo. Ngesikhathi somncintiswano, abasubathi kufanele badlule amasango amisiwe akhuphuka nomfula ngaphandle kokuthinta izigxobo zesango.
Abakhiqizi be-kayak besihlalo esisodwa bakutshela ukuthi isango lamanzi linemigoqo emibili elengayo. Izigxobo zesango lamanzi zipendwe ngokuluhlaza nangokumhlophe, izigxobo zesango lamanzi zipendwe ngokubomvu nokumhlophe, futhi ingxenye engezansi imhlophe yonke. Ububanzi bomnyango bubhekisela ebangeni eliphakathi kwezigxobo ezimbili zeminyango, kusukela 1.2 amamitha kuya 4 amadesi. Isigxobo somnyango siyindilinga, 1.6m-2m ubude, 35cm-5 cm ububanzi, futhi inesisindo esanele ukuthi ngeke kube khona ukushwibeka okukhulu lapho umoya uvunguza. Ingxenye engezansi yesigxobo somnyango imayelana 20 cm ukuphakama ukusuka emanzini, ngakho-ke kuhle ukuthi ungathinteki emanzini.
Abakhiqizi be-kayak besihlalo esisodwa bakutshela ukuthi abasubathi kufanele badlule emasangweni ngokulandelana kwezinombolo zesango ngesikhathi sokuncintisana.. Inombolo yendlu yinombolo 30 cm ubude futhi 30 cm ububanzi, enengemuva eliphuzi noma elimhlophe, kanye nenombolo 20 cm ukuphakama nhlangothi zombili ngopende omnyama.
